I have a personal 9/11/01 story.
That Tuesday morning was the day the orkin guy came to the house for his monthly treatment(Florida has lots of bugs). Anyway, the Orkin guy was from pakistan. I was watching events unfold on the TV. When the second plane hit, the Orkin Guy blurted out:
“WHY DO THEY THINK THEY ARE DOING THIS FOR GOD?”
This was long before there was any speculation as to who was attacking us.
I thought that was VERY interesting.
My eyes did not leave the TV for days. I collected every newspaper clipping, piece of memorabilia, etc from those days and have them bound in several large volumes which have survived my husband’s death, the loss of my house, and a move. I KNEW in my heart that the left would suppress the story and drop it down the Memory Hole, so I saved EVERYTHING. ( I even have the VHS videotape of “The Concert For New York”)
I feel like Winston in 1984, saving the newspaper clippings he was supposed to destroy.
“I have a personal 9/11/01 story.”
My boss walked into my office at 4 P.M. looked at the other desk and asked me “Didn’t Christoffer fly to California today?”
We both got the “awshit” look and he ran off to ask the secretary who made the travel arrangements what flight my office mate was on.
He never got to CA.

My Family did the very same thing. Newspaper Headings the Works, in fact, we still do that.
